The xx's Oliver Sim wants to write song for Beyoncé
The xx guitarist Oliver Sim has revealed aspirations to write a track for Beyoncé.
The musician described the US singer as having the same level of talent and star-power as Michael Jackson and admitted to being overwhelmed when seeing her perform live last year.
"Beyoncé is very special. I think she's important," Sim told Q magazine. "I think the super-pop thing that supposedly died with Michael Jackson is still there, with her.
"I saw her at Glastonbury and I may have shed a tear. Writing a song for her, that's the dream. The full Sasha Fierce."
Sim confessed that he has eaten out with Beyoncé and Jay-Z, but found it hard to speak to them after feeling too star-struck.
"We all went for dinner. There may have been a husband of hers there. I always had a lot of things I wanted to say to her and I completely choked."
